Adherence to emerging plant-based dietary patterns and its association with cardiovascular disease risk in a nationally representative sample of Canadian adults. Revised PDI and DGAI 2020 provided valid and meaningful measures of plant-based eating among Canadians, while validity of ERD was not directly confirmed. Adherence to the plant-based dietary patterns was not associated with CVD risk. Future large-scale analyses are necessary to further evaluate the role of plant-based eating in CVD prevention. |
Betalain-rich dragon fruit (pitaya) consumption improves vascular function in adult men and women: a double-blind, randomized controlled crossover trial. Acute and short-term consumption of dragon fruit in dietary achievable amounts improved endothelial function and arterial stiffness in healthy individuals. This implies that regular dragon fruit consumption may have a meaningful impact on cardiovascular disease risk likely due to the high betalain content. |
Trends in dietary macronutrient composition and diet quality among U.S. adults with diagnosed and undiagnosed elevated glycemic status: a serial cross-sectional study. Although the dietary habits among adults with diagnosed diabetes and prediabetes were better than among the undiagnosed cases, these advantages have been diminishing during the past two decades. |

Incidence of Acute Rejection and Patient Survival in Combined Heart-Liver Transplantation. CHLT reduced the incidence of ACR in the cardiac allograft suggesting the liver offers immuno-protection against cellular mechanisms of rejection without significant impact on patient and cardiac graft survival. CHLT did not reduce the incidence of de novo DSA, possibly portending similar long-term survival among cardiac allografts in CHLT and HA. |
Prediction of long-term morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation using two-dimensional shear wave elastography as compared to liver biopsy. Elevated LSM by 2D-SWE is associated with increased mortality after LT independent of hepatic fibrosis. 2D-SWE may serve as a novel non-invasive prognostic tool to predict relevant outcomes late after LT especially given the overall decrease in use of liver biopsy in the current era. |

Coagulopathy and hemostasis management in patients undergoing liver transplantation: Defining a dynamic spectrum across phases of care. Recent studies and society guidance address this emerging paradigm and offer recommendations to assist with hemostatic management in patients with liver disease. However, patients undergoing LT are unique and diverse, often with unstable disease |
